I ran the full 2 miles today
I ran the 2mi in a little over 27 minutes, which I'm totally happy with. Slow and steady! Tomorrow is an "easy" 1 mile, and I know I can manage that, now! 4 -
@cmhubbard92 , well done on running the full 2 miles! How did you come up with your running schedule? Is it C25K? Is it a Garmin thing? Did you find a program online? Just curious. One day I hope to run again, but in the meantime, I will be living vicariously through your running achievements!2

@HASWLRS I've been having trouble uploading images in the community for some reason, but my running plan is through my Garmin! I set up a 10k running plan, with an end date of July 3, but I can edit and extend that date at any time!
I have four scheduled days for my runs so far. Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Sunday is generally my long run, and the rest are varied.
The training plan adjusts based off of my progress, and I get feedback like steps per minute, average pace and heartrate, etc. For example, next week is showing cadence drills for next Tuesday, and is giving me a goal of 150spm based off of my current speed/workouts-that will be interesting. I really like what I'm getting out of it so far!The first week was just a benchmark run with a five minute warm up/cool down.
Week 2:
Sunday: Negative Split Run (2mi easy, .75 faster, .25 even faster)
Tuesday: 2mi easy
Wednesday: 1mi easy
Friday: 2mi easy
Week 3(current week):
Sunday: Negative Split Run (same as week1)
Tuesday: 2mi easy
Wednesday: 1mi easy
Friday: 3mi easy
The one thing my plan stresses is that if it's too much-walk, and only do the planned running to avoid injury. With c25k, I always found myself rushing through weeks, increasing distance too quickly, and injuring my feet. I'm following my workouts as planned, but trying to run more than walk, which is why today was such a happy moment! I know there will be workouts where I'll have to walk, but I'm ok with that as long as I'm progressing!2 -
Thank you, Christine, for the insight. That is very interesting that Garmin can set up a program for you based on the parameters you give it. It's a Vivoactive, you said?0

Hi, I'm Sandra, 55, from Richmond, Virginia. My husband and I are empty nesters, with two grown daughters. I try to walk/run about 3 miles every day with our border collie puppy. It's been wonderful lately with the spring weather. My goals for this month are to exercise 6-7 days a week, eat 1250-1350 calories 5-6 days a week, and keep protein 20-25% of daily intake. I really need to add strength training 2x a week and sit ups...but want to get the rest down first.

@roz0810 , you are off to a really great start for the April Challenge! Well done!0 -
yesterday was pretty much a loss - fitness wise. I ended up with fever (101.6F), headache and body aches as a result of MAKING ANTIBODIES following my Covid vax on Monday afternoon. Happy to report I'm feeling much better today, Just a little achy and tired. back to business soon!

Good for you, Amber! You had a slight uptick on the scales so you tightened up your logging and food choices and came in with an under!! String together a week of these and you'll be heading back down on your next weigh-in!2 -

@prehistoricmoongoddess Life without a few mini eggs now and then isn't worth living. You'll be fine. 2 -

@annabananamc Way to go on those antibodies!!! Glad the vaccine is working and that you're feeling better today.
I get my second shot next week and have already decided to cancel my normal up at 4:00AM to workout routine the next day. I plan to sleep in, get some rest, drink some Gatorade, and let my body do its thing. That's more important than an early morning spin class. 4 -

@DaffyGirl88, I had to Google Dyngus Day. It's origins and it's metamorphosis are very interesting! Apparently Hungary has a Dyngus Day, too, (although it is called something else) but that is on my husband's side. I also discovered that it is very big in Buffalo! So, Happy Dyngus Day to you as well!! What will you do today to celebrate seeing as you are not in Buffalo anymore?
@HASWLRS Buffalo is the Dyngus Day capital of the US. You should come down one year and check it out! Parades, drinking, dancing, drinking, *kitten* willows, drinking. Good times!!
To celebrate I made placek, a Polish bread. Which is by no means low anything! It's basically butter sugar and eggs. LOL Recipe below, but I make a version that doesn't require yeast.

The pictures in that recipe thread look very good! I have another MFP friend from the Buffalo area, so I wished her a Happy Dyngus Day, too! Apparently it is the thing to do if you are from Buffalo. Who knew? Thanks for the education!2 -

Hey all. I’m going to be going on vacation later this week.
I will not have a scale so can I roll over my weight for week 1?
Also, we are staying at a cabin in the mountains, our goal when we go there is to get away from everything in life including especially staring at our phones so I will be inactive until the middle of next week.
See you all next week
Have a wonderful time!! That's great that you get away from your phones.1 -

Logged: no
Under: no
Exercise: yes, I went for a 25 minute walk and I did my physiotherapy exercises for my knee.
I made a casserole for dinner and it would have been very hard to log accurately, so I didn't even bother trying. I did go a little stupid, though, in eating too much just because I wasn't logging. I need to rein that behaviour in on days that I do not log for one reason or another.
I completely understand this - eating too much because not logging in! Can relate.2 -
